﻿On Thursday, March 24th, 2016, Mrs. Hagerty’s students are invited to check out an independent reading book and begin the Word War challenge. Select an independent reading book that has a minimum of 100 pages and discover how often you can find LEVEL A Sadlier Oxford vocabulary words in young adult fiction books.

Here’s out it works….

As you discover vocabulary words during your independent reading, it is suggested to mark the page with a post-it note. Once you have finished reading for the day, find the "WORD WARS" button located under the Word Wars tab found on Mrs. Hagerty’s web page.

You will need to include the book title, author, page number, vocabulary word, and the sentence containing the vocabulary word.
